Abstract: The present invention accurately detects foreign material mixed into a yarn
using a simple configuration. A yarn 1 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays
alternately emitted by light sources UV1 and UV2. Light receiving elements PD1
and PD2 then alternately receive a light reflected by the yarn 1. Sample-and-hold
circuits 3c and 3d then hold signals corresponding to the quantities of light
received. An adder 4b then adds the signals for the quantities of light reflected
together. Thus, the mixture of foreign material is detected on the basis of a
change in the added signal (Fig.1).

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for calibrating sensors, which sensors are arranged on semiconductor chips and are e.g. to be used for detecting a substance in a fluid. The sensors are calibrated while they are still assembled on a semiconductor wafer (17) by exposing the wafer to a calibration fluid containing a known amount of the substance to be measured. Hence, rather than first cutting the wafer (17), the sensors are calibrated at an early stage. For this purpose, they are placed on a chuck (16) below a lid (11). The calibration fluid with known parameters is introduced between the wafer (17) and the lid (11). This allows to test and calibrate a large number of sensors quickly.

Abstract: Each half of the blow molding tool comprises two parts(3,4). When brought together for a molding cycle the two parts force a bulge(16) in a parison tube to enter an enlargement of the molding cavity around the sides of the principal cavity(8). When the tool halves are closed a free space(18) remains in the cavity enlargement either adjacent to or enclosed by the bulge. One section of the parison bulge(16) extending into the side enlargement forms a scrap piece and at least one other section forms a handle(26) of the molded product. A scrap piece between the handle and the wall of the molded product is subsequently removed to leave a handle. The side cavity enlargement extends further outwards from the outer side of the handle. A pinch-off edge is formed between a scrap section and the plastic product wall(17) by the opposing faces of the two tool parts(3,4) when they are moved towards each other. The free space(18) extends around the full periphery of the side enlargement. An independent claim is included for a hollow plastic product blow molding tool comprising tool halves, each of two parts moving perpendicular to the opening movement of the tool halves and forming not only a principal molding cavity(8), but a side enlargement of the cavity to receive a compressed bulge in the parison. The enlargement extends to the outer edge of the tool half along a straight line.

Abstract: Emballage à ouverture automatique pour dispositif médical, comprenant des parties supérieure et inférieure sous forme de feuille souple, dont chacune présente des extrémités distale et proximale et des premier et deuxième bords périphériques. Ces parties sous forme de feuille souple sont adaptées pour être scellées l'une à l'autre au niveau de leurs bords périphériques de manière à assurer l'enfermement d'un dispositif médical. Une collerette est également fixée aux extrémités distales de sorte qu'un déplacement relatif de rapprochement de la collerette et des extrémités proximales provoque l'écartement des feuilles souples et donc l'ouverture de l'emballage. Le procédé de fabrication d'un emballage à ouverture automatique renfermant un dispositif médical consiste à placer un dispositif médical sur une face supérieure d'une feuille souple de matière qui présente également une face inférieure, et une première et une deuxième extrémité. Des précurseurs de collerette supérieur et inférieur sont fixés aux faces inférieures respectivement des première et deuxième extrémités. La feuille souple de matière est ensuite pliée de bout en bout autour du dispositif médical de manière à former des parties supérieure et inférieure (dont chacune possède des extrémités distale et proximale) qui enferment le dispositif médical, puis les feuilles souples sont scellées l'une à l'autre de façon réversible. Les précurseurs de collerette sont déroulées sur les feuilles souples, mis en alignement actif, puis scellés l'un à l'autre de manière à former une collerette fixée aux extrémités distales de telle sorte que tout déplacement relatif de rapprochement de la collerette et des extrémités proximales provoque l'écartement des feuilles souples et donc la mise à nu d'au moins une partie du dispositif médical.

Abstract: Water processing method, in particular for producing fresh water from salt water by membrane distillation. In comparison with previously known methods, a significant reduction in investment cost and operating cost can be achieved by the combination of the following measures: The water to be processed is kept in a supply chamber the wall of which is formed at least in part by a hydrophobic membrane being permeable for water vapor. A hydrophilic membrane having a greater thickness in comparison with the hydrophobic membrane and a lower thermal conductivity per unit area runs in parallel with the hydrophobic membrane. By the pumping action a vapor pressure difference is produced between the water to be processed and the fresh water so that the membrane distillation is driven by the vapor pressure difference resulting from the pumping action, the water condensing in the pores of the hydrophilic membrane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to breeding of crop plants. It is specifically suitable for breeding of colony varieties or cultivars of self-pollinating and frequent-cross-pollinating plants. A female group is hybridized with a male group to produce colony varieties. The female group is produced as follows: Pairs of parental plants with different desired characteristics are hybridized to produce F1, and pairs of F1 are then hybridized to produce a segregation population. The individual plants in this segregation population or their self-crossed descendants in the early segregation generations will constitute the female group. The male group consists of homozygous breeding lines, varieties, or heterozygous plants in the segregation generations or individual plants that are produced in a similar manner to the production of the female group. The process of breeding colony varieties includes 5 phases: hybridization, self-crossing for stabilization, characterization, grouping assortment and formation of a colony. The colony varieties also possess features of the conventional varieties---uniformity, stability and peculiarity. Farmers can reserve their seeds for the next planting, and seed companies may explore further development based on stock seeds. The colony varieties have good adaptability, high yield and strong resistance to pests and diseases. Colony variety breeding has less reliance on breeders' experience and thus even farmers can do the breeding. In addition, 11 cases for breeding colony varieties in various crop plants and their performance in the production are cited in detail for demonstration.
